Anybody remember the "When the School Bus Turns" insertials? They were parodies of soap operas, with unresolved "cliffhangers" (I assume they were intentionally uunresolved, unless I just didn't see the episodes that concluded each one). I never watched any soap operas (excluding the soap opera...

Wow! Grover's getting a new song? I don't think he's had his own song in years (not counting what he sings in the Spider-Monster sketch). I wonder if it'll be Frank or Eric performing him in that.

I already did the top ten retro commercials, but how about the top ten best Nick at Nite and/or TV Land promos? 10. "Bad TV! Bad TV! Bad TV!" (in regards to not getting TV Land) 9. The Dick van Dyke Show theme with lyrics 8. "Times change. Great tv doesn't": Uncle Bill from Family Affair...

I used to think the line was "Ewww! Old people!" I think my friends (well, my classmates) even quoted it that way. But then I found the clip on YouTube, and the girl just says "Old people", in a disgusted manner. Though I found this tribute to that commercial which uses the "Ewww! Old people"...

Top ten retro commercials: 10. M&Ms - Christmas "he does exist!" 9. Taco Bell - "Here lizard lizard lizard!" 8. Pepsi - Alien re-enacts Star Wars Episode I with special cans 7. M&Ms - puppets promote a million-dollar contest 6. Nintendo 64 - "Jingle bells, Santa smells..." 5. Dr. Mario -...

I don't think you quite understand what I was wondering. I wasn't wondering if they'll drop the "Kermit the Frog is a trademark of Muppets Studio" credit, I was wondering if it'll now refer to Kermit as a trademark of the Walt Disney Company instead, since Disney seems to be embracing its...

It's interesting that some reports say that old Elmo's World will continue in reruns. Does this mean Elmo's World will alternate with Elmo the Musical! or that they'll continue to air reruns from past seasons that are NOT just renumbered (if that's the case then DUH!). Huh, that one Cookie...

You know, since The Muppets came out last year, it seems Disney had stopped using the Muppets Studio subsidary. Considering this'll be the first Sesame Street release with Kermit material since then, it'll be interesting to see if the copyright credits refer to Kermit as being a trademark of The...

I considered doing a Tex Avery list, but I've had trouble thinking up 10 WB shorts he directed that I really like. Then I considered making it a WB/MGM combo, but even then I can't think of enough. I'm not as big on MGM as I am on WB or Disney, and the only Avery-directed MGM shorts I could...

Top ten episodes of Taxi: 10. Crime and Punishment 9. A Woman Between Friends 8. Memories of Cab 804 7. Bobby's Acting Career 6. Louie's Last Fling 5. The Great Line 4. Latka the Playboy 3. Reverend Jim: A Space Odyssey 2. Fantasy Borough 1. Mr. Personalities

No. I've often tried but haven't been able to. Not sure if it's because I watch them on a computer instead of a regular DVD player or not. Or maybe I just haven't checked because its been that way for so long.

You mean we could skip/fast-forward the ads on recent Sesame Street releases?

Top ten worst reality shows... Oh wait, they're all worst (and I don't watch them). :) Top ten restaurants: 10. Cracker Barrell 9. Steak 'n Shake 8. Subway 7. Burger King 6. Olive Garden 5. Cheddars 4. Pizza Hut 3. Arby's 2. McDonald's 1. Hooter's Top ten greatest Mario games: 10. Super Mario...

This may be redundant to wonder, but I'd like to know if he's performed anybody besides Sweetums (and the Coca-Cola Polar Bear). I know he was credited as a performer for Inner Tube and City Kids, which didn't have Sweetums, so he must have done more. I wonder if he was mainly a suit performer...

I don't know if this is the right place to bring this up or if I should just start another thread (but then I'm not sure what a good title would be), but has anyone noticed that although Jerry was always there, it seems he was given less characters in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, yet...

I think it was called the Nickelodeon Toy Run. I remember when I saw the commercials for the 1992 contest, I kinda wanted to enter, but one of the prizes was a trip to Hawaii, and for some reason I thought I'd get in trouble with my parentsif I won a trip there (I don't know why I thought...

You're right. I think my wishlists for the contents of the previous Old School sets (and the 40th anniversary DVD) only had a handful of clips that made it to the releases, and yet those releases are still great. In a few cases on that list I just listed characters or recurring segments. So...

Top ten greatest Jim Carrey movies: 10. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 9. Once Bitten 8. Man on the Moon 7. Yes Man 6. Bruce Almighty 5. The Number 23 4. The Cable Guy 3. Dumb and Dumber 2. The Mask 1. Liar Liar Top ten games for the Super Nintento, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, or Nintendo Wii (my...

Here's some classic Nickelodeon bumpers:

I sort of take this back. If rare characters from this period don't appear in the episodes themselves, they very well could put them in the bonus segments, but they most likely won't include stuff from before or after this period as bonus skits (though all of the easter eggs on volume 2 came...
